He said that if we can get good missionaries what difference does it make where they come from! have little care if they only come. They should not be held away when the holy spirit moves them to come I think any minister is fit to go to heathen lands and preach if he is fit for our home churches. Only they want to believe that they are close to the churches.

COMMITTRE ON SQUARES.

| The Band Stand Petitioners AeAF0 Alderman Barnes and Town Agent | Reynolds Advocate Its Erection l The Committee Will Consider at a Future Meeting-The New Park. The committee on squares and parks met
 last evening and considered the petition for an appropriation to build band stand on the old Green Alderman Barnes, who
 presented the petition to the board of alder men, advocated the granting of a proper appropriation for the object, ,as also did Town Agent Reynolds. It ought to be large enough to accommodate two bands and also sufficiently large to hold number of speak CTS in case of a public meeting. There is now no place for public meetings where speakers can address the people. MT. Key holds thought it would be instructive, edi flying and agreeable to the people to have concerts and it would be money well expend architecture should correspond to the arch over the town pump. The committee will inquire and report.
 The order from the board of public works advocating that layout for a larger park should be made before any buildings were erected on lots sold on the old town farcc in the western part of the city was next con- sidered. It proposed to take in all the land rounded by Elm, Reynolds, Norton and Mott streets. Town Agent Reynolds appeared ss a committee from the board of selectmen and the trustees of the farm and stated that the selectmen and trustees are willing to allow the city to take all the land they want, but they must pay for it. The sale is the main thing which the town depends on for the money to pay for the new almshouse. The market price must be paid. He said that in obedience to instructions from the selectmen and trustees he had engaged ex-Gov. .Ingerso1 so that the legal technicalities, if there be any, should be righted and the towns inter ests properly maintained. Ex-Councilman Chillingworth appeared and said he did not speak for himself but for the property hold CTS and residents of Whalley avenue north of Norton street and down to the jail. The public is entitled to more public parks. The big cities of the country are looking out for larger public pleasure grounds. As regards the cost MT. Chillingworth said that it was preposterous to pay for the land the same as so many building lots. It was nothing but farm land-so many acres from the plot of sixty acres of the old town farm. The mat ter was tabled.
 The committee voted to recommend that 8 requisite number of seats be erected on the upper half of the old Green.
 The petition of Herbert E. Benton and others for open air band concerts was voted recommended. An appropriation of $1,000 is asked for.

Girls literature, writes Emily $. Bouton
in the Toledo Blade should help make
women, thinking, belpfal, earnest, women,
aud il, rs has been well said lin choosing
the books that boys shall read il Is nee
essary to remember that we are choosing
the mental food for the future chiefs OF a
great race, II is equally important not to
forget, in choosing books for girls, that
we are choosing the mental food for the
future wives and mothers Of that race.
The girls work for the common veal of
humanity is quite as important as that Of
her brother. and the necessity thLt her
brain diet be well chosen isquite as great,
OF course, this selection Of books for
the young involves careful supervision
and increasing labor II demands the
careful examination OF whatever you place
in their bands to read, and watehfuness
which must not be 30 open as TO lrritate,
IN order that literature of pernicious kind
may not stray inte their possession, and
lay the foundation Of taste that il will be
difficult to eradicate
wise discretion, however, will not
place all stories or novels under ban.
Even were these not those that insensibly
lead to high aims and lofty purposes, II
would be better to put voluntarily before
them such as have no influence other than
that Of entertainment than TO provoke
opposition by arbitrary ruling Yet this
is not necessary when some Of the most
writers Of the day are en-
gagged in contributing to cbildren's litera-
.ure. Certainly no boy or girl could read

The rare collection of auimale at th,
geological garden, says a Philadelphia dis
patch dated April l3, was today enriched
by two specimens which. il they live. viii
enjoy the distinction of having no counter
parts 10 tins country. he first is the
black footed penguin and the other the
tachyg lossus hysirix or ant eating echid-
ua The first is genuine bird that can
not fly, and the other four footed land
animal that lays eggs. The echidna is
considered by naturalist one Of the rarest
and most peculiar creatures of the animal
kingdom. The specimen at the Zoo, ex-
cept stuffed one at the academy Of natural
sciences, is the only ono in America,
where it was captured. 1t is about the
size OF an ordinary porcupine, which it
greatly resembles, being covered with
long quilts, hut it has a bill shaped nose
nearly three inches long, from which pro-
trudes narrow tongue 6 inches in length
Its mouth is exceedingly small, and it has
no teeth. It's legs are short and powerful
and its feet are armed with thick claws
that can burrow 80 rapidly that the animal
can almost instantaneously disappear in the
earth. Unlike other burrowing animals,
he burrows with all four feet at once, and
instead OF Of going head first. he gracious
ly sinks into the earth with his spine
curved and brstling with formidable
array OF quills On its right hind leg is
sharp spur, similar to fighting cocks,
three inches long. A little canal, con-
nected with gland, runs through it and
keeps it supplied with poisonous liquid
which is said TO produce instantaneous
death. The most peculiar feature OF this
strange animal, however, is that it regular
ly lays eggs OF dark purple hue. When
on its native heath its diet consists OF
ants aud other insects, but yesterday It
enjoyed hearty meal Of condensed milk
and tue white OF an egg.
